ABOUT CFD
Since 1897, Cheyenne has celebrated its Old
West roots by serving up non-stop outdoor
rodeo action in one of the largest outdoor
arenas on earth.
Cheyenne Frontier Days™ is commonly referred to as
the “Daddy of ‘em All”®—the world’s largest outdoor
rodeo. The phrase was coined in 1919 when Cheyenne had
gained worldwide recognition for having the biggest and
best rodeo. Some folks credit T. Joe Cahill, who served
as a committeeman that year, for the nickname. But, no
matter who christened Cheyenne’s rodeo with the name,
one thing is certain; each year since, CFD has lived up to
its reputation.
The “Daddy of ‘em All” continues as a leader in rodeo
action. It remains the favorite rodeo for most PRCA contestants and rodeo fans alike. Rodeo cowboys are known
to proudly display their winning belt buckles as status symbols. A recent study of rodeo points out that contestants
who have competed at Cheyenne prefer to sport their CFD
championship buckles even more so than a world champion
buckle.
Importance of Volunteers
For more than 100 years the citizens of Cheyenne have
banded together in this annual community project. CFD
has a minimal staff with the rest of the work being done by
over 2,300 volunteers. Because of this effort, and numerous
other community-oriented volunteer projects, Cheyenne
has been dubbed “the volunteer capital of the world.”
•
In 2013, total ticketed attendance for rodeos, concerts
and other Frontier Park events was over 250,000. Over
25,500 people attended the free pancake breakfasts,
45,000 visited the Indian Village, and 5,000 went on the
behind-the-scenes chute tour.
•
As it did last year, CFD expects to serve about 100,000
flapjacks to nearly 30,000 during its free pancake breakfasts served downtown.
•
Visitors spent nearly $25 million in Laramie County
during CFD, including $4.8 million at restaurants and
bars, $2.7 million on accommodations, $6.5 million
on entertainment and recreation, and $10.6 million on
shopping, gas and other retail purchases. CFD also creates over 300 full and part-time jobs.

Economic Impact

focused on delivering our mission to be a positive economic
resource in our community. CFD draws cowboys and rodeo
and music fans from throughout the country for a spirited, ten-day celebration of Western heritage. CFD serves
as an important boost to Cheyenne’s economy, bringing

CHEYENNE
About the Wyoming State Capital
Cheyenne was founded on the banks of Crow Creek in
July 1867. The town, named by Army General Grenville
Dodge after the Indians who inhabited the area, took on
many nicknames over the years. Cheyenne originally was
referred to as “Hell on Wheels” because the first businesses
to arrive at the new railhead were ones that traveled along
with the Union Pacific as it broke ground westward across
the Great Plains. These businesses were set up in tents with
false store fronts. Most were drinking and gambling establishments catering to the rough and tumble life of transient
cowboys, local ranch hands and soldiers at nearby Fort D.A.
Russell.
Within 15 years Cheyenne became known as the “Magic
City of the Plains” and gained status as the “richest city of
its size in the world.” Wealthy cattle barons from the East
and abroad invested in the booming cattle industry and
built huge, elaborate mansions in Cheyenne. Many of these
historic landmarks are still standing today, including the
historic Governor’s Mansion which is open to the public
year-round.
Today, Cheyenne’s economic base is supported mostly by
government, wholesale and retail trade, and tourism.
Cheyenne still serves as a major crossroad in the West for
the Union Pacific and the Burlington Northern Railroads, as
well as Interstates 80 and 25. Most recently, Cheyenne has
gained international and national recognition with the location of the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center and
the Microsoft data center.

FUN FACTS
All night show/concert press passes must be approved in
advance. If you wish to cover a night show, please submit
a request to do so in writing to the PR Committee no less
than 15 days before the show date. Any media that does
not request a night show/concert media pass in advance
may not be able to take photos, video or review the show.
When the request is submitted please include information
on what you intend to do (i.e. take photographs, take video,
or review the show). The PR Committee will have a list
for who is approved, the artists’ restrictions and any added
requirements (often the first two or three songs only) one or
two days prior to the show. In addition, if you wish to conduct an interview with the artists we can provide you with
the contact information for the artist and you can contact
them directly. The PR Committee will not be able to set up
interviews for you.
Dress Requirements
PRCA clothing regulations state all media personnel
and photographers must wear a long-sleeve western style
shirt, long pants, boots and western hat while present in the
photo pit, arena, chute area and in the cowboy ready area.
The rodeo is highly photographed for both television and
print media; the clothing requirement ensures the western
flavor of the event and the safety of working media in and
around the arena. If the requirement presents a problem,
please contact the PR Media Office. We have extra hats and
western shirts available to borrow.

•
Approximately 1,800 contestants will compete for
a total purse of expected cash and prizes expected
to reach $1 million, the largest purse award in
regular season pro rodeo.
•
The Rookie Saddle Bronc event was originally
called the “Amateur Bucking Contest.” The name
was changed for the 1974 performance.
•
CFD continued the tradition of signaling “8 seconds” with a gunshot until the 1994 rodeo performance, when it was replaced by a buzzer.
•
Frontier Park became the home of CFD in time for
the 1908 celebration. The cost for the structures
totaled $20,000, and the total seating capacity for
the rodeo was 7,700.
•
This is world’s largest outdoor rodeo arena. The
arena is over 700 feet long and 200 feet wide! The
seating capacity for the rodeos is 15,000 and over
20,000 for the night shows.
•
In 2013, a new all-time attendance record for CFD
was achieved when 25,000 enjoyed Jason Aldean
(2013 Academy of Country Music Male Vocalist of
the Year) on a wet Friday night making Frontier
Park the fifth-largest city in Wyoming.
•

Media Deck
During the rodeo, media can watch from a shaded box
located in the east stand. PR volunteers are available to
answer questions and help obtain interviews with contestants. Be sure to secure your seat early as this area fills up.
Photo Pit
The photo pit is an excellent vantage point to capture
action shots of arena events. It is in the middle of the arena
and allows photographers to capture contestants launching
out of the chutes. It is also the best place to get photos of
steer wrestling. You need a pass to get in this area.
Getting Interviews
Chutes
The chutes are restricted areas that require a pass.
The chutes on the north end of the arena tend to be less
crowded than the southern chutes, which include sponsors.
Photographers must first check with a CFD PR volunteer
before going on the chute platform. You are only allowed to
stay on the chute platform for a few rides.
Cowboy Ready Area
Underneath the east stand near the north chute, rodeo
contestants are getting ready for their rides. PR volunteers
are available to help you find an interview and escort you
into the area for photos/b-roll.

CFD RODEO
CFD has over 1,800 cowboys/cowgirls and
over 2,000 animal athletes. More cowboys/
cowgirls and animal athletes compete here
than at any other rodeo. In fact, you will see
more contestants in at CFD rodeo than many
other rodeos have in an entire weekend.
Our prize money again this year exceeds $1
million, making it one of the largest purses in
professional rodeo.
Cinch Rodeo Shootout
Presented by Anadarko
Friday, July 18 at 12:15 p.m.
8 Champions - 5 Events - One afternoon
Cost: $18 or $30
during the main rodeo performances though. Slack is free
– be sure to check your “Schedule of Events” to see when
slack will occur.
The Cinch Rodeo Shootout hosted by CFD showcases
the eight most prestigious North American rodeos and
each of their best athletes.This one-day invitational
style tournament of champions pits the top cowboys
and cowgirls in the world against each other in five
events: Bull Riding, Barrel Racing, Saddle Bronc Riding,
Bareback Bronc Riding and Steer Wrestling. Up for grabs
is over $70,000 in prize money. The tournament moves
forward with two rounds: the initial 8 competitors,
followed by a championship round of 4. By the end of
the afternoon, one champion will be crowned for each
event.
At CFD, these timed event cattle are quite unique. First,
prior to CFD, they have never been in a rodeo before – they
are “fresh.” Second, these animals are much larger than is
typical at other rodeos. Here the calves will be in excess of
300 pounds, and the steers over 600 pounds. Third, these
cattle are given a 30 foot head start in competition. This
“score” is 3 to 4 times longer than most other rodeos and
leads to the uniqueness of competition at the Daddy of ‘Em
All.
The best part… YOU decide the championship
pairings. Those at the show will have access to our
text message voting system. You’ll be able to decide
which cowboys ride which bulls, and much more. This
has never been done before in the sport of rodeo. The
first 3,000 ticket buyers will receive a free t-shirt to
commemorate the first ever Cinch Rodeo Shootout at
CFD.The fate of our competitors – and the prize money
– rests in the hands of the fans.
Barrel racers enter from the north end of the arena and
complete a cloverleaf pattern of 3 barrels. Fastest time wins.

Timed Events Slack
A cowboy backs his horse into the box at Chute 9 and
nods his head. The calf is given the 30 foot head start and
then the horse and cowboy give chase at speeds over 30
miles per hour. The objective is for the cowboy to rope the
calf, dismount, run down to the calf, flank the calf, and tie
three legs with his short rope called a piggin’ string – all in
about 10-12 seconds to be in the money!
For all these events – Fastest time wins!
Check schedule, in the mornings
Cost is free.
Chute 9 is where “slack” is held in the mornings. This is
for cowboys who are unable to be scheduled for the main

Cheyenne’s world-class rodeo is truly the Daddy of ‘em
All. Known for its fast pace and large number of contestants, the CFD rodeo ensures that visitors see more rodeo
action – two sections of bulls, and two sections of saddle
and bareback broncs daily – than they can see at any other
rodeo. Every rodeo event is performed in each of the nine
daily performances, so any day at Cheyenne Frontier Days is
a good day to see an exciting, action-packed rodeo.
Two go rounds; back to back, slack to slack, performance to performance. First go round slack split evenly
between two slacks Monday, July 21, and Thursday, July
24. Contestants up in first go slack Monday, July 21 will
run second go in slack Tuesday, July 22. Contestants up in
first go slack Thursday, July 24 will run second go in slack
Friday, July 25.
The rodeo consists of track acts in a fast-paced display
of athletics, heroics and good-natured fun. Ultimately, the
rodeo is about the people who make it great: the contestants, the announcers, the barrelman, and last but not least,
the bullfighters.
After backing his horse into the box, nodding his head
and giving chase to a steer at speeds of over 30 miles per
hour, the cowboy slides off of his saddle down on the running steer with arms around the horns of the steers. Using
his feet, the cowboy slows the steer, changes direction of
the steer by twisting his head and grabbing his nose and
then lays the steer to the ground. In this event, the cowboy
has a helper, called a hazer, who assists in keeping the steer
running straight.
Timed Events
The PRCA rodeo also spotlights barrel racing, tie-down
roping, steer roping, steer wrestling and team roping.
Bull Riding
Perhaps the most dangerous event in rodeo, bull riders
place their hand in a bull rope around the bull and attempt
to ride for 8 seconds. These bulls are mostly a cross of
Brahma (for speed, agility and quickness) and a beef breed
such as Angus for size, power and muscle. Top notch breeding programs are in place with sire registries and artificial
insemination being used by stock contractors. The horns on
bulls (if not polled) are tipped for safety of the bulls while
in the pens and during transport on the road, as well as for
the cowboys.

Bareback Riding
Monday, July 21 & Tuesday, July 22 8 p.m.
Cost $29 $39
In this event, the cowboy uses a “riggin” that is essentially a leather strap with a handhold on it around the belly
of the horse. The cowboy wedges his hand in this handhold.
When the cowboy is ready, he nods his head and the chute
gate opens. The horse exits with a quarter turn. The cowboy’s feet have to be above the points of the horses shoulders on the first jump out of the chute or the cowboy is disqualified (“missed him out”). The cowboy spurs in rhythm
with the horse as his feet will be forward on the neck of the
horse when the front feet hit the ground and then back at
the withers when the back feet hit the ground. The judges
look for this rhythm of spurring from the cowboy and the
bucking ability of the horse for high scores.
Championship Bull Riding (CBR) will be returning to
CFD to crown the 2014 World Champion. This is the
culmination of the year-long 2014 Road to Cheyenne Tour
where bull riders have accumulated points towards the
world title. Up for grabs is one of the most prestigious titles
in bull riding and a $100,000 bonus.
The 2014 CBR World Championship is also the final
event for the Million Dollar Bull Team Challenge where
bulls are competing for prize money. Last year’s bull team
winners, B & M Bucking Bulls took home a check for
$92,000.
At the end of Tuesday night’s competition nearly onehalf million dollars will be paid to bull riders and bull team
owners making it one of the richest competitions in bull
riding. The entire 2014 Road to Cheyenne Tour is televised
in prime time for 26 weeks on FOX Sports Networks, with
the 2014 CBR World Championship featured as the final
two telecasts in the popular series.
Saddle Bronc Riding
For rodeo’s classic event, the cowboy uses a modified
saddle (does not have saddle horn) cinched around the
horse. The cowboy hangs on to a hack rein (like a halter
rope). Just like bareback riding, the cowboy nods his head
when ready, the chute gate opens, and the cowboy’s feet
have to be above the points of the horse’s shoulders on the
first jump out of the chute. The cowboy spurs in rhythm
with the horse as his feet will be forward on the shoulders of

CFD offers many events beyond the rodeo
including a world famous night show lineup,
free pancakes, a carnival and parade.
Frontier Nights™
Night time entertainment naturally followed the rodeo
performances in Cheyenne, but it became an official part of
Frontier Days on the eve of the Great Depression. In 1929,
the committee built a small version of old-time Cheyenne
on the grounds at Frontier Park complete with false-front
saloons and theaters to depict the rowdy days of yesteryear. Soon, a carnival was added to the park’s attractions.
Downtown, square dancing on a designated street intersection along with dance performances by the Sioux Indians
lured people out for the July evenings.
Night Shows
Sunday, July 20
Gary Allan
with special guest Chancey Williams and the Younger
Brothers Band
During the big band era of the 1940s and 50s, top-name
bands provided music and dancing at Frontier Park. In the
late 50s, a 10-cent fee was charged for each dance. The
“dime-a-dance” feature was a Frontier Days favorite of
Cheyennites who danced at the Pavilion, which now houses
the CFD Headquarters and CFD Old West Museum. The
first night arena show was staged in front of the grandstands
in 1951. Television’s Fred McMurray held the audience
spellbound that first year along with Lawrence Welk and his
orchestra just prior to landing their famous television show.
The early night arena entertainment ranged from clown and
dog acts to chariot races, fancy and trick riding, and drum
and bugle corps performances. Other Hollywood stars that
followed in the 1960s included Michael Landon as “Little
Joe” of TV’s Bonanza and Robert Conrad of The Wild Wild
West. In the early ‘70s, the current “B” stands replaced the
old stands, and in 1977 Frontier Days was extended to 10
days. Now, Cheyenne is equipped to book top country and
western entertainment as well as rock acts. The night arena
shows that year featured Johnny Cash, Mel Tillis, Barbara
Mandrell, Jimmy Dean, and Jerry Jeff Walker.

it a permanent feature of CFD. And so, the CFD Challenge
Rodeo became a reality for the 100th annual “Daddy of ‘em

Each of the 60 Challenge Rodeo children are paired up
with a specially selected volunteer “buddy.” These all-day
volunteer chaperones are chosen according to their knowledge, medical training, and expertise in working with children who face mental and physical challenges. The children
share one-on-one attention with their buddy and a rodeo

American Indians have always been an important part
of western history. In 1898, just after the second annual
Frontier Days rodeo, the CFD committee invited American
Indian performers to participate in the CFD celebration.
American Indian performers have returned to CFD each
year since, entertaining and educating visitors about
American Indian heritage and culture. Historically, the
visiting performers camped on a corner of Frontier Park,
and that became a tourist mecca. Over the years, the site of
the campground shifted from place to place. In the 1960s,
the CFD committee established a permanent campground,
dubbed the “Indian Village,” on the southeast corner of the
park, where it remains to this day. In addition to hosting
authentic American Indian dancing, music playing and
storytelling, the Indian Village also includes a number of
Native American exhibit booths and food vendors.
Parades
Cost: FREE
Saturday, July 19; Tuesday, July 22; Thursday, July 24;
Saturday, July 26 Time: 9 a.m.
Until 1925 (with the exception of the spectacular
parade staged in 1898 for Buffalo Bill and one in 1910 for
President Theodore Roosevelt) the Frontier Days parades
were nothing more than wild gallops through the streets of
Cheyenne by a bunch of unruly cowboys on wild broncos.
Pistols were aimed at upper story windows, pretty girls
were lassoed, and pandemonium reigned. That year, the
Frontier Committee enlisted Fred and Margaret Boice to
stage a pageant using the theme of “The Evolution of
Transportation.” In 1926, Dazee Bristol was asked to create
some floats for the parade that would last. The ones she
created are still highlights of current parades. They include
Dazee’s Dance Hall, Harry P. Hynds Blacksmith Shop,
the Placer Mine (depicting South Pass City, Wyoming) and
the Silver Crown Mine (which pokes fun at some early
residents who invested in a mining scam). In the 1930s and
40s, Dazee added the Vigilante Float, the Hells Half Acre
Saloon Float and the One-Room School House.Join us in
Cheyenne as people from all over the world take in the
sights and sounds of some of the top marching bands and
horse-drawn vehicles in the country! The parade starts in
front of the Wyoming Capitol.

Pancake Breakfasts
Cost: FREE
Monday, July 21; Wednesday, July 23; Friday, July 26
Time: 7 a.m.– 9 a.m.
The Cheyenne Kiwanis Club is the organization that
puts on the pancake breakfast with the help from the CFD
Indian Committee.
The all-time CFD free breakfast single-day record was
registered during the Wednesday 1996 feeding frenzy where
16,897 people were served. The weekly record was broken
that same year when 39,111 people enjoyed a free breakfast
and Cheyenne western hospitality. Just for the record, the
almost 40,000 were fed in a combined serving time of eight
hours, ten minutes.
This year, the volunteers will serve up more than 100,000
flapjacks made from 5,000 pounds of pancake mix, cook-up
3,000 pounds of ham, serve 9,200 cartons of milk and 520
gallons of coffee, along with 630 pounds of butter and 475
gallons of syrup!
Started by the Cheyenne Frontier Committee in 1952,
the traditional free breakfast (originally served twice a week)
has since been a favorite of locals and visitors alike. The
Cheyenne Kiwanis Club, with the help of the Cheyenne
Boys and Girl Scouts, cook up the grub on military ranges.
For the Kiwanis, the CFD breakfast is not only a great time,
but a chance to practice as well. The ranges have proved to

OTHER EVENTS
Not all the fun during CFD is sanctioned by the CFD
Committee. Through the years other groups of individuals, businesses, and associations in Cheyenne
have been bitten by the bug of volunteerism and
joined in to enhance the annual celebration and
become a part of it all. Following the example set
by CFD volunteers a long time ago, these individuals spend a great amount of time and energy preparing for their contribution to the show each year.
In the 1960s, a few downtown businessmen were known
to assume the status of a vigilante committee aimed at men
in golf shorts and boat shoes. The makeshift lawmakers took
matters into their own hands by tossing the nonconformists
in the lake at Holliday Park—only to give themselves an
excuse to donate articles of western attire to poor wet souls
who dared not to dress accordingly during CFD.
Cheyenne Gunslingers
During Cheyenne Frontier Days, performances
are: Monday - Saturday at high noon and 6 p.m.
and Sundays at high noon.
In 1983 a local downtown art gallery owner, Ron Levene,
sat drinking coffee with a few other 16th Street business
owners discussing the western-ness of Cheyenne. It seems
they all shared the same blank expressions when summer visitors and tourists came into their shops and asked,
“So, where’s all the cowboys and Indians?” CFD certainly
provided the old western frontier atmosphere, but only for
10 days in July. These fellas decided to give ‘em what they
asked for. Armed with a sizeable donation from the head
office of the LaQuinta Inn hotel chain in San Antonio,
Texas, these businessmen started the Cheyenne Gunslingers.
They got off to a slow start that first season. The volunteers didn’t anticipate the costs involved with staging the
gunfights. But, within a few years the association had grown
into a first-rate tourist attraction not only during CFD, but
for the whole summer. The men furnish their own guns and
costumes, and together, they write the scripts that are staged
twice daily at Gunslinger Square, 16th Street and Carey
Avenue. In addition to the fun-filled skits, the Cheyenne
Gunslingers also have a more serious side. They show the
audience the importance of gun safety, and much of the
information is aimed effectively at the youth in the crowd.
The “shoot ‘em up” show is free to the public.

Pavilion. The show was a hit, and the performers have carried on their volunteer tradition ever since.
In 1966, they were moved to the abandoned and dilapidated Atlas Theatre downtown. The Atlas Theatre building
was erected in 1887. Originally, it housed a confectionery
shop on the main level with office spaces on the upper
floors. The building was remodeled in 1907 with the assistance of local architect William Dubois. The upper floors
were converted into rooms for rent with the main level
reserved for the elegant Atlas Theatre, a soda fountain, and
a large penny arcade—Wyoming’s first. Today, the Atlas
Theatre seats 260 guests per performance. Much of the interior has been restored to its original state. The original fire
curtain installed in 1908 still hangs from the ceiling above
the stage.
The Cheyenne Little Theatre Players have entertained
thousands of visitors during CFD with sellout shows that
bring about rounds of “boos” and “hisses” for the villain,
“cheers” for the hero, and “ah-h’s” for the heroine. The
melodrama is a three-act play that focuses on some part
of Wyoming’s western heritage. It is often written by local
talent and includes a variety of crowd-pleasing olio acts, cancan dances, and fun for the whole family.

Fort D.A. Russell Days is a celebration of the U.S.
military throughout the history of what is now, Francis
E. Warren AFB. The base is the oldest active Air Force
base and has been an active duty military installation since
its inception in 1867. The installation’s ties to CFD dates
back to the very first installment of the famous rodeo in
1897, when soldiers from the post fired a canon signifying the start of the event and staged a mock battle in the
arena. Today, the base holds its annual open house during
the rodeo so that the public can learn about its current and
past missions. Visitors to Ft. D.A. Russell Days will be able
to tour the historic brick homes, several dating back to the
19th century, tour the base museum and watch historic
military reenactments. The base also demonstrates modern
technology associated with its current intercontinental ballistic missile mission. Visitors can observe military working
dogs in action, tour a real-life training launch facility, and
marvel at the wide variety of missile support vehicles, such
as the gigantic missile transporter erector. F.E. Warren Air
Force Base is located at exit 11 on I-25 in Cheyenne.

“IT’S THE CHEYENNE THING TO DO…” That’s
how Bill Dubois, a 2004 inductee in the CFD Hall of Fame,
replied when asked why he had been volunteering for more
than four decades in a variety of capacities at the “Daddy

hundreds of volunteers who provide the people power to
produce what arguably is the largest outdoor western celebration in the world.

It began as a simple one-day celebration in September
of 1897 when a group of volunteers from the Cheyenne
business community thought it would be fun and profitable
to stage a western celebration. Today, more than 2,500 volunteers work around the calendar to produce an event that
borders on two weeks long and includes parades, pancake
breakfasts, world-class concerts, chili and chuckwagon cookoffs, carnival, exhibits, Indian Village, military open houses
and performances by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds
and, of course the event that started it all-nine Professional
Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) rodeos.

of seasoned volunteers to assist with various functions of
CFD. Members have been instrumental in producing the
Exceptional Rodeo in past years and continue with the
Challenge Rodeo, which is Cheyenne’s independent version

HEELS
The idea of the “HEELS” emerged in 1934 as a result
of financial difficulties brought on by the Great Depression.
Because the pocket linings of CFD were pulled inside out
and drooping, a group of volunteers put their heads together and brainstormed over how to remedy the show’s tough
financial situation. They tossed around the idea of replacing
paid arena help with volunteers of the committee, and the
HEELS organization was born. It is said that volunteer Ed
Storey commented during that casual meeting that they’d be
a bunch of heels if they didn’t help out, and the name stuck.
CFD Scholarships totaling $920,675 have been awarded
to 1171 recipients since 1985. The scholarships are made
possible by the Ram Truck raffle, Chuckwagon Gourmet,
CFD Committee events and individual donations.
Foundation board members are Mike Lane, Rod Hottle,
Jim Hearne, Phil VanHorn, Jim Johnson, Tim Allen, Laura
Jeffrey and Darin Westby.
Today, the HEELS are comprised of 430 volunteers who
have been recognized for their exceptional service to CFD.
Each year new members are nominated and voted into the
select group based on their contribution of volunteerism
to the show. Each HEEL is entitled to wear a specially
designed badge and belt buckle to distinguish the honor.

The Wyoming Lottery
Bringing fun and funds to
the Cowboy State
What do you get when you cross a jackrabbit with a
pronghorn antelope? Just about anywhere else, the reply
would most likely reference the highly elusive (and according to some folks, mythical) creature known as the jackalope.
But ask most anyone here in the heart of Cowboy Country

about the unlikely hybrid, and they’re just as liable to answer
“Why, Yolo, the WyoLotto jackpotalope, of course!”
Gold Boot Sponsors
The brightly colored Yolo bounded onto the public stage
at a public brand unveiling for the Wyoming Lottery held
last January. Featured prominently on the Wyoming
Lottery’s logo and marketing materials, the jackpotalope
symbolizes the fun factor inherent in playing the lottery.
Once Wyoming’s fledging lottery is up and running later this
summer, more than 400 retail locations throughout the state
will feature ticket kiosks, posters and other displays featuring the fanciful creature.
We outfit the west.
We live where you celebrate the events you treasure
most. We honor the events you treasure most. We honor
your hard work, integrity and community – and strive to
provide quality gear for you and your family. For more than
thirty years, we’ve partnered with Wrangler, Carhartt, Ariat,
Justin, Resistol and more to bring you the best service, the
largest selection and the lowest prices, guaranteed.
When Powerball® and Mega Millions® tickets go on
sale in Wyoming, Wyoming residents and visitors are going
to have a whole new and exciting reason to enjoy the
Cowboy State. Powerball jackpots create more than 500 millionaires each year, and jackpots frequently reach six-figure
amounts (the jackpot reached a whopping $448,400,000.00
last August!). It won’t be long before Wyoming starts adding
its own names to the growing list of Powerball winners who
dared to dream and saw their dream come true.
The other game coming to the Wyoming Lottery, Mega
Millions, offers players a chance to win jackpots that start
at $15 million. With nine exciting ways to win in the game,
each $1.00 play offers up tons of low-cost fun and entertainment.
But, while it costs little to play, the payoff for the state
is going to be huge. Lottery officials expect the Wyoming
Lottery to gross nearly $13 million annually, with a net
of about $6 million a year after expenses and prizes. The
legislation calls for the first $6 million of proceeds to be
distributed to local governments, with any excess going into
a school fund.
Meanwhile, anticipation among future WyoLotto players
is building, retail ticket sales equipment is being installed
statewide and the lottery staff is busy making final preparations for rolling out the biggest single form of entertainment
to take the Wyoming stage since the “Daddy of ‘em All”®
made its debut 117 years ago.
By the way, the roving, larger-than-life jackpotalope is
rumored to frequent public events, so there’s a chance you
might just chalk up a jackpotalope sighting -- or maybe even
a personal encounter -- during Cheyenne Frontier Days. If
rubbing a regular rabbit’s foot brings luck, just imagine the
good fortune that could come your way following a rendezvous with WyoLotto’s Yolo.
Stop by and see for yourself.

Holiday Inn began as the vision of Kemmons Wilson
(1913-2003) in 1952 and a roadtrip gone bad. Driving to
Washington D.C. on a family vacation, Wilson grew frustrated at the lack of quality he found in roadside motels.
Dingy courts and dusty motor hotels may have been satisfactory when Americans first set out on the road but Wilson
was sure that the interstate-age would call for new kinds of
amenities: air conditioning, restaurants, in-room telephones,
and - most of all - standardization. Within a year, Wilson
commissioned blueprints from his hand-drawn diagrams.
The designer, Eddie Bluestein, wrote “Holiday Inn” across
the bottom of the plans after seeing a Bing Crosby film.
The name stuck. The first Inn, built on Summer Avenue
in Memphis, Tennessee, was so successful that Wilson followed up with identical ones on three other roads leading
into Memphis.

SPONSORS
The team at QEP Resources, Inc. is honored to be a
Gold Boot sponsor at Cheyenne Frontier Days™. Since our
humble beginnings as a producer of oil and gas in Wyoming
more than 80 years ago, QEP and its predecessor companies have been committed to investing in communities that
preserve our western heritage.
Union Wireless, a pioneer of telecommunication services for the Rocky Mountain West region, launched our
connectivity aspirations 100 years ago, in 1914, when local
ranchers were looking for a communications solution. As
advancements in technology and the various formats in
which people choose to connect with the world continue to
develop, Union Wireless remains steadfast in our commitment to provide our customers with connectivity solutions
in accordance with both their needs and desires.
Today, QEP is a leading independent oil and gas
exploration and production company with more than 900
employees in seven states, including Wyoming, North
Dakota, Utah, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana.
Even as we have grown, our western roots have remained
an integral part of who we are as a company. QEP is proud
to be a valued economic development partner in the many
Wyoming communities in which we live and work, including Cheyenne.
100 years since our inception, Union Wireless continues
to make significant financial investments to developing connectivity solutions through advancements in our expanding
network; one that’s built to address the needs for the rapidly
evolving technological world where a multitude of devices
are occupying and competing for bandwidth.
Rodeo, the greatest sport on dirt, is an important facet
of our commitment to the western lifestyle. Our operations,
many of which are located in rural areas of the country,
employ individuals who participate in and contribute to
this lifestyle. With our sponsorship of Cheyenne Frontier
Days™, we honor our employees, the people of the great
state of Wyoming, rodeo fans across the United States, and
the cowboys and cowgirls competing.
We believe that our 100 year legacy of being respectable
corporate citizens and stewards of our community will continue to bond our business initiatives with our declaration to
enriching the customer experience. Our philanthropic efforts
are reflective of our commitment to improving the communities in which we live and work. From supporting literacy
awareness expansion and providing disaster relief assistance
to the creation of the Linda K. Woody Foundation; scholarship pledges to the University of Wyoming and Utah State
College and various local endeavors including our sponsorship for the Wyoming Agriculture & Natural Resource
Science Institute.
Part of preserving the western way of life involves ensuring that generations to come will have access to affordable,
clean energy sources. Fortunately, here in Wyoming, such
energy sources are plentiful. From the fuel in your truck
that gets you to the rodeo, to having lights in the calving
barn on a snowy night, to the heat and air conditioning we
use throughout the year, access to energy is critical to how
we live our lives.
As long-standing supporters of Cheyenne Frontier Days,
we are honored to serve our community and invite you to
join us on our journey.
QEP Resources believes in providing access to clean,
safe and sustainable energy solutions. These solutions not
only equate to lower energy expenses for Americans, they
also mean increased business investment in our local communities, energy security for our country and access to
steady, well-paying careers for hundreds of thousands of
Americans. To learn more about QEP Resources, visit us at

Barrelman and Bullfighters
Darrell Diefenbach
From: Azle, Texas
Education: Maryborough T.A.F.E. (Australia)
Employment: Builder
Outfit: Red shirt, red and blue bandannas, black hat, black,
white and red makeup
Rodeo History: PRCA since 1998
Achievements: (see cfdrodeo.com)
Bullfighters may appear to do a lot of “clowning around,”
but their role is of utmost importance to the contestants.
Their job is to help prevent the contestants from sustaining
injuries by the bulls. In many cases, these bullfighters have
been responsible for saving a contestant’s life. For this reason,
they must be in peak physical condition and mentally alert
for their “dances with bulls.” Most bullfighters and clowns
wear good athletic shoes or cleats as part of their costume.
The costumes are generally quite colorful and loose fitting
to divert the bull’s attention from the contestant after the
ride. Occasionally, a contestant’s hand may become “hung
up” in the rope when he is bucked off. When this happens,
the bullfighters are right there risking their own safety to
free the cowboy’s hand from atop the bucking bull’s back.
One bullfighter distracts the bull while another tries to free
the cowboy’s hand. At Cheyenne, two bullfighters work
together in the arena to assist the contestants during the
bull riding events.
Arena Director
Frank Thompson
The arena director is responsible for the activities in
the arena. He ensures that PRCA rules are followed and
provides the safest environment possible for anyone who
enters the arena. During the rodeo he coordinates the roping events that take place at Chute 9 on the south end of
the arena with the rough stock events that come out of
the bucking chutes. Frank acts as a troubleshooter and
takes action to solve problems that arise in the arena. He
also starts the wild horse race and decides which direction
around the track the horses will travel.

CFD Miss Frontier
1931 - 2014
The first Miss Frontier was selected in 1931 when the
Cheyenne Frontier Days committee sponsored a contest.
All six of the girls who entered were sponsored by a civic
organization. Each girl was judged based on the number
of tickets sold be her sponsoring organization. Miss Jean
Nimmo Dubois had the honor of becoming the first Miss
Frontier when the Cheyenne Post of the American legion
sold the most tickets to the show. Edith Gogerty Stevens
won the honor in 1932 by a popularity vote determined by
the number of tickets sold at the Frontier Pavilion. In 1933,
another contest sponsored by the Tribune-Eagle selected
Maysie McKay Christensen as the third Miss Frontier. The
year 1934 saw the CFD committee selected Lois Crain
Moor as Miss Frontier and Leona Burner Gillen as her
Lady-in-Waiting, starting a tradition that follows to this day.
During the reign of Mary Helen Warren Welborn in 1936,
Miss Frontier acquired he traditional garb of the “White
Bucks.” Mary Helen had seen Sally Rand, the fan dancer
who appeared at CFD wearing an outfit of leather, consisting of a divided skirt and vest trimmed in fringe and silver
conches. Mary Helen thought the outfit was most appealing and so the familiar official clothing of Miss Frontier
came into being work with a satin blouse. The role of Miss
Frontier has evolved through the years. Today, as well as
appearing at all of the events of the show, she is a visible
representative of CFD appearing at other rodeos, press
conferences and special events to promote and annual event
born of an idea to create a celebration for Cheyenne.
